"As always- I am overwhelmed by Tiny Print's ability to produce such beautiful products! These invitations are as sweet as the baby girl you will purchase them for! They are as beautiful as expected....I love Tiny Prints...they are the only place I shop for invites, Thank You cards etc...you can't beat their quality! I give this invite 2 thumbs up! Thanks Tiny Prints!!!!"
"Everyone has had great things to say about card and baby's picture (so glad I included the picture). Delivery was prompt which was important in my case as this was done last minute. One person told me their's arrived wrinkled in the mail but I presume that's the mail delivery's fault."
"Am so happy with the invitation just what I needed. I had to reorder more as my husband changed the reception venue at last minute. Beautiful Card and Excellent Service. Highly recommend!!!"
"The invitations were beautiful and got many compliments from friends and family. When they asked I said it was Tiny Prints!! Their service and customer support were excellent."
"Absolutely loved the cards, it turned out perfectly, and so did the picture I choose as well. Good quality of paper and picture. I changed the font from what they recommended to something a little fancier and it was great. Wished I could of changed the colour of her name to a darker pink but it doesn't allow for that. But other than that I'm extremely happy with it and everyone loved the personalized touch to the cards. Because this card was for a baptism, it was great because it has the religious aspect but didn't feel it was overpowering like some and still had a artistic, modern feel to it and could add your own photo as well. LOVED IT!!! I had to rush the shipping and it came in before the date they had said it would, which was great."

I am desesperate after asking different peole I still have a stange problem that I don't know how to solve.
My application is deployed and configured to use Apache and Fastcgi (I use a hosting company).
It works ok except for some redirect where apparently the wrong route is used. I have tried on the same environment with webrick (with the command script/server) and it works ok. I suspect a problem with Apache configuration but don't know how to diagnose.
Here is the configuration where the problem occurs: I have a remote form which call an action as followed
created_path do |f| -%>
The action created is executed until it reaches the following redirection render :update do |page| page.redirect_to building_blocks_path (@building) end
and instead of going to the index action of the blocks controller it loops on the created action and there is nothing special in the log except - Completed in 0.79187 (1 reqs/sec) | Rendering: 0.00394 (0%) | DB: 0.73004 (92%) | 200 OK [http://int.notreimmeuble.com/created] and a 500 Internal Server Error in the javascript response (with the message in the ErrorDocument 500 in htaccess) (again this same code works well with webrick started on the same environment).
Here is the htaccess used (and recommended by my hoster) AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA] RewriteRule ^([.]+)$ $1.html [QSA] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
ErrorDocument 500 "< h2>Erreur de l'application</ h2>L'application n'a pas démarré, contacter l'administrateur"
Any advice for a solution would be very welcome Thanks Nicolas
Hi Nicolas,
Have you also made sure that there are no validation errors while it is creating the building record?
Make sure you have error_messages_for(:building) on your "new building" view. Sometimes, it's the littlest things...
HTH, Jason Arora
Hello Jason,
Thanks for your answer. Yes the validation are ok a new building has been created, but the redirect to the next step doesn't occur.
Hi Nicolas, you can attack this in 2 ways: 1) run the application in developemet on the Apache FCGI configurations (i think you only need to change your mongrel_cluster.yml) and install the FireFox extension "FireBug" which enables you to track AJAX requests in your site, watch the "Console" tab on firbug and see why your request was erroneous. (moving to development env is necessary, so you'll get the actual error, and not the 500.htm page like in production). 2) trace your log.
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
I have tried to run in dev mod but it did not change anything, no more trace than the one I had, and the console mode did not give more than the one I gave in my first post.
Any other idea?
I think I have found the problem (thanks to this post (http://lightman76.wordpress.com/2007/06/15/running-ruby-on-rails-with-mod_fcgid-and-apache/) which explained that if you have a puts with mod_fcgi then it screw your program and I had one... Now it works I have stil another problem but this is less critical.
Thanks for your help.

Even Better Than I Expected!
A Falling of Leaves Save the Date Magnets I found Magnet Street online and I knew I wanted Save the Dates in a magnet style. Their website had a huge amount of styles that would fit what I wanted for my Fall 2014 wedding. After choosing one and personalizing it, I selected the "Just One" option so I could see a real sample. This is a great option because I was able to see, hold and feel my magnet before I committed. I made an adjustment to the font size and color and placed my order. My magnets were delivered today and they're even better than I expected! I was surprised to receive them in a beautiful box with a lovely catalog for other items I can use for my wedding. It was like opening a gift! I highly recommend Magnet Street and I will be ordering my invitations and programs with them now too!
Excellent Product with Great Quality
A Falling of Leaves Save the Date Magnets Everything, down to the box, was great quality!!!!
Perfect mini magnet.
A Falling of Leaves Save the Date Magnets The magnet is very pretty, exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it. The price was reasonable in comparison to other places I looked at. The best part, however, was that these were sent to me in very good timing--magnetstreet is very reliable.

Jessica Alba's not just a movie and TV star - now she's also an Internet entrepreneur, testing out her new role at the Montgomery Tech Conferencewhere she pitched her business model to investors and the other 190 startups here.
She co-founded The Honest Company, (honest.com) a subscription service for non-toxic baby supplies, like diapers, wipes, bubble bath and detergent, which launched in January.
Alba decided she wanted to create a new line of baby products when she discovered that many of the supposedly kid-friendly products she used on her now four-year-old were full of dangerous chemicals. She told me she couldn't believe how expensive truly non-toxic products are, and how hard it is to find them.
She teamed with serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, co-founder of LegalZoom, who suggested making it a subscription service. That allows the company to avoid the hassle of dealing with retailers, while making it easier to manage inventory. Alba liked the fact that the direct-to-consumer model allows her to keep prices down - she wants to build a truly mainstream baby brand.
As CEO of Honest, Lee is building on his success with subscription retail as well as celebrities. He's a co-founder of monthly subscription service ShoeDazzle, along with Kim Kardashian, who's also the company's chief style guru. That monthly shoe service, which also allows consumers to opt-out whenever they want, is bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and the buzz here at Montgomery is that ShoeDazzle is headed to an IPO in the next year or so.
Alba's venture just launched in January, but with her star power helping spread the word, Lee hopes Honest will grow just as fast.

It's baaack.
Earnings season is here again, and if initial indications are right, it may not be pretty. Companies have been offering cautious guidance ahead of the release of their fourth quarter results.
"There are a couple of supports for earnings season" that have kept down input costs, notably lower oil prices in the fourth quarter and a weaker broad dollar, according to Rebecca Patterson, chief investment officer at Bessemer Trust. That said, she is not optimistic heading into earnings reports, she told CNBC's Melissa Lee. "I'm not looking for great news in the coming earnings season, but I think low expectations, lower input costs for some companies - it'll be a mixed bag, but nothing special."
(Read more: Fourth Quarter Earnings Outlook)
Andrew Busch, global currency and public policy strategist at BMO Capital Markets, is also relatively downbeat. While he thinks investors could be cheered initially if companies beat admittedly lackluster forecasts, he is more focused on companies' outlooks going forward. "My guess is, at some point we'll get disappointed with what's going on," he says. "Reality has to be there." Housing could be strong, he says, but "if we falter anywhere in here, there's a lot of reasons not to be excited."
Busch thinks stocks will fall and meet up with bonds, which have been weak recently.
He also thinks this is a good time to sell the euro against the dollar. He wants to enter the trade slightly higher than current levels at 1.3125, setting a stop at 1.3175, and he is looking to hit a target of 1.2975.

2011 Launch of the GRE® revised General Test Propels Program Volumes to Record High
- Contact:
- Christine Betaneli
(609) 683-2676
- Christine Betaneli
Princeton, N.J. (February 8, 2012) —
Following several consecutive record-breaking years, the GRE® program reported that 2011 test volumes reached an all-time high at more than 800,000, officials of Educational Testing Service (ETS) announced today.
In a year when other higher education admissions tests reported flat or declining volumes, the 2011 launch of the GRE revised General Test led to the largest testing year in the program's history and represented a 13% increase over last year. ETS officials believe the added momentum is due to the new test-taker friendly design of the GRE revised General Test combined with growing acceptance of GRE scores worldwide by thousands of graduate institutions, including business schools.
"We are excited to see such a sharp rise in interest in the GRE revised General Test because it ultimately leads to more people pursuing higher education. In addition, the growing use of GRE scores by business schools is great news for prospective students who now have more opportunities for success — applicants can take one test to pursue either graduate school or an MBA,"says David Payne, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of ETS's Higher Education Division.
In 2011, the GRE Program recorded growth in all major markets around the world. U.S. volumes increased nearly 10% from 2010, and ETS saw solid increases in important segments such as underrepresented groups, the variety of undergraduate degrees and individuals planning to pursue an MBA. Internationally, GRE test volumes increased nearly 25% over 2010. While growth was recorded throughout the world, including Europe, Africa and other regions, China saw a noteworthy 28% increase and India a 43% increase in test volumes.
More schools than ever, including business schools around the world and international institutions, are accepting GRE scores for admission. In 2011, the number of business schools accepting GRE scores for their MBA programs climbed to nearly 800, up dramatically from 450 in 2010. International institutions accepting GRE scores also grew by nearly 10% in 2011. "GRE test takers now have access to more institutions than ever before with substantial growth in acceptance by business and international schools,"adds Payne. Leading schools who accept GRE scores for their MBA program reported to ETS that they are now seeing a growing applicant pool of GRE test takers. In addition, GRE score reports sent to international schools rose more than 17% in 2011 compared to the prior year.
"Accepting GRE scores is a win-win for both students and the graduate program," says Harvie Wilkinson, director of MBA programs for the Gatton College of Business at the University of Kentucky. "The student now has more options, and with that, the business school becomes more diverse; with different backgrounds working together, better projects are able to be produced."
2011 marked exceptional growth for the GRE Program, providing an even better test and a better testing experience, which is good news for potential students. Xie Fang, a GRE test taker in Beijing, China comments, "The GRE revised test is more convenient and user friendly than the old GRE test. I can move back and forth in one section and flag questions, this is really helpful."

The V-Groove base allows the guide to be positioned on virtually any round object or square corners. Convenient alignment marks on one side of the drill guides center the guide holes over material to be drilled.

It's been years I haven't been active here, and I suddenly decided I would try to make a contribution of some kind.
What you see here is a comparison of the same mesh textured a bit differently.
The mesh is completely flat, and any feeling of volume is only given by the good old parallax mapping and normal mapping (a shader fairly easy to write, cheap, and giving good results as long as you don't get in the cases that screw it completely).
It is lit by a single light; the blue and orange tones are given by some
simple environment mapping. Remember the usual equation albedo *
(ambient + diffuse) ?
Usually ambient is a constant is lighting tutorials, but getting inspired by the spherical harmonics papers, I tested the generation of a simple square texture describing the color of the ambient light: longitude along x, and latitude along y.
In the shader it becomes :
vec4 getAmbient()
float invPi = 1. / 3.14159265358979;
vec3 wNormal = (vec4(nNormal, 0.) * cameraMatrix).xyz;
vec2 uv = vec2(0.5 * invPi * atan(wNormal.x, wNormal.z), invPi * atan(length(wNormal.xz), wNormal.y));
return vec4(vec3(texture2D(aMap, uv)), 1.);
* nNormal is the normal;
* cameraMatrix will allow us to get wNormal, the normal in world coordinates (otherwise the ambient light will seem to be attached to the camera);
* aMap is the texture the ambient map is bound onto.
Now the part being compared in the image is the fake ambient occlusion. Notice how edges look lighter and inner corners look darker on the right? Even the round parts look a bit darker than the flat ones. The effect is very faint, and you probably wouldn't notice, but when you compare the images, there is a difference. The left one looks flatter, and somehow less interesting.
This is done very easily, during the normal map creation: the normal map
is created thanks to a heightmap, and so is a fake AO map. Fake, because
it doesn't rely onto any math, just out of intuition. The idea is to
consider that a higher element will to some extend prevent surrounding
lower elements from being lit. So a fake shadow is generated from the
heightmap with a convolution filter like this for example:
0 -1 0
-1 4 -1
0 -1 0
Also, the farther the elements, the softer the effect. Therefore this is done repeatedly, each time with a more blurry version of the heightmap, and with an increased distance for filter (well this is not a convolution anymore). This would probably work by reducing the size of the texture each time too; I haven't tested.
Anyway this is all about a hack, and about having quickly a fairly interesting result. :-)

General Court: So...you think you are family of marks?
In case T-356/12, Debonair Trading Internacional Ldª filed an opposition against CTM application in Class 3 SÔ :UNIC (Ibercosmetica, SA de CV) on the basis of a series of earlier trade marks registered for Clas3 on the grounds of Article 8 (1) b) CTMR, namely
The opposition was also based on the grounds of Art 8 (4) CTMR on a number of other earlier signs, defined by the applicant in the notice of opposition as being non-registered word marks, protected in the European Union, designating the goods 'perfumery, cosmetics, deodorants' and containing the word element 'so', most often in the context of the expression 'so… ?'.
The Opposition Division and Board of Appeal rejected the opposition on the basis of Art 8(1) b) CTMR because the second condition to find a likelihood of confusion with a family of earlier marks was not met, namely it did not have the characteristics capable of associating with the series: the element 'unic' in the mark applied for was not an English expression, unlike the expressions following the element 'so… ?' in the family of marks relied on. Therefore, the trade mark applied for did not fit into the pattern of those earlier marks, but would be understood as a fanciful expression. The General Court confirmed this conclusion.
However, the GC annulled the Board of Appeal's decision on the grounds that it infringed Rule 15(2)(b)(iii) of Regulation of CTIMR because the fact that the Opponent had ticked both the 'non-registered TM' box with ' EM' box did not render the opposition on ground 8(4) CTMR inadmissible because of a material error (since non-registered TM protection is a national right, the opponent cannot claim a EU wide protection for non registered trade marks). Indeed, the letter accompanying the letter of opposition made it possible to understand the nature and representation of the other earlier signs at issue, and what right those signs were supposed to confer on the applicant in the United Kingdom and in Ireland under the rules on passing off. The GC sent the case back to the Board of Appeal to assess the opposition on the basis of art 8(4) CTMR.

No protection of the mark 'HOT' in Germany
The German Federal Supreme Court (BGH) has recently ruled on the protectability of the figurative sign 'HOT'. Acknowledging the importance of this case, the BGH issued the following guiding principle (loosely translated into English by this member of Class 46):
If a word (here: 'HOT') has various meanings (here: 'heated' as well as 'spicy or piquant' regarding taste and in a figurative sense 'sexy, terrific or great'), which are all descriptive in relation to the goods for which it is registered (here: goods including cleaning preparations, cosmetics, food supplements, printing products and clothing), the measure of interpretation that is required on the part of the relevant public merely due to these different meanings is not enough to confer distinctiveness on that word.
Initially, the trade mark proprietor had successfully extended the protection for the international registration of the mark at issue to Germany. The figurative mark, which consisted principally of the word 'hot' written in capital letters within a rectangular box, was registered in Classes 3, 5, 16 and 25 for the goods mentioned above, amongst other things. However, the German Federal Patent Court (BPatG) subsequently withdrew the protection for the German part of the registration finding that the sign was devoid of any distinctive character, contrary to Section 8(2) No. 1 of the German Trade Mark Act. The Court held that the average German consumer is able to understand both the literal and the figurative meaning of the word 'hot', which is part of the standard English vocabulary. Therefore, the average consumer would be likely to perceive the term as being purely descriptive of the goods covered by the mark or as a general promotional description.
The BGH has now followed this reasoning and dismissed the trade mark owner's appeal. The average consumer would understand 'hot' either as describing the appropriate temperature for the use of the relevant goods (in the case of cleaning products) or as denoting that the products were generally attractive (in the case of the remaining goods). According to the judges, a word may be purely descriptive, even if it is vague or does not "exhaustively" characterise the goods for which it is registered. The Court did not deem the word 'hot' to evoke sufficient ambiguity to grant it protection. In addition, the relevant public would be likely to understand 'hot' - a term frequently used in advertising - as a mere promotional statement. The graphical elements of the mark were not significant enough as to justify a different conclusion.
The BGH's decision should be viewed in conjunction with 'Vorsprung durch Technik' (see case C-398/08 P, reported here). In this case, the CJEU established that marks that are not purely descriptive can express an objective message and still serve to indicate the commercial origin of goods or services, if those marks require at least some interpretation by the relevant public. It could be argued that the English term 'hot' fulfilled these criteria, since the average German consumer had to consider and interpret the various meanings of the term. However, the BGH has now clarified that the effort, which is required merely to interpret different literal and figurative meanings of a single word, is not sufficient for the word to be held distinctive.
It is, at best, difficult to reconcile this result with case T-67/07, in which the General Court granted protection for the word mark 'FUN' claiming that the link between the word 'fun' and the goods applied for (here: land motor vehicles) was too vague, uncertain and subjective to confer descriptive character on that word.
Moreover, the BGH's decision is significant, since the trade mark owner successfully registered the mark 'HOT' in the United States and as a CTM. The judges noted that these previous registrations did not have a binding effect on the Court. This statement falls in line with the General Court's view that neither the OHIM nor the EU Courts are bound by decisions adopted in any Member State, or a third country, finding a sign to be registrable as a national trade mark. The General Court has recently reaffirmed this position in case T-291/12 (reported here and here).
Reference: BGH, decision of 19 February 2014, in case I ZB 3/13.

Michelangelo and Botticelli combined are distinctive says German Patent Court
The German Federal Patent Court (BPatG) recently gave a welcome liberal ruling on the distinctiveness of a device mark. The applicant, a private individual, had applied for a device mark showing images of two world famous works of art, Michelangelo's David and Botticelli's Venus. Their heads are joined next to each other and it seems they are gazing into each other's eyes. The application was filed for body and beauty care products in class 3, pharmaceutical preparations in class 5 and for related services.
The court overturned the decision of the PTO, which had rejected the application for lack of distinctiveness. The court thought that the PTO had been correct in finding that both images of Michelangelo's David and of Botticelli's Venus were frequently used in advertising to allude to beauty and health. However, the court disagreed with the PTO's conclusion that therefore, the combination of the two images lacked distinctiveness. Leaving it open whether or not each of the images by itself might be capable of trademark protection, the court said that this was at least true for their combination. It thought that the particular composition, where it seems as if David were looking up to Venus, is unusual and sufficient to lend the mark distinctive character.
This author agrees. The court has accorded due weight to the fact that the trademark applicant has not merely used some commonplace imagery but has creatively combined two well-known metaphors for beauty and health to form an ensemble which reinforces their meaning and equips them with a fresh, almost cheeky, look. It would be welcome if the PTO also took greater care in noticing such nuances. As it is, the PTO is often rather quick in applying a blanket approach when rejecting trademark applications with descriptive tendencies.
Case Reference: 30 W (pat) 14/12 of 6 February 2014.
The decision - in German - is available here.

General Court: Olive Line bottle shape not distinctive
In case T- 209/13, Olive Line international SL applied for registration of the following CTM for Class 29 "edible olive oil"
The Examiner and the Board of Appeal rejected it on the grounds that the mark was devoid of distinctive character according to Article 7 (1) b) CTMR.
As regards the shape of the bottle it is relatively common and mundane and its lines are identical to those usually found in that sector.There are no characteristics which would distinguish the bottle in question from other olive oil bottles available on the market. The relevant public is the average EU consumer. It does not matter that this might be "delicatessen" olive oil sold at a price higher than average olive oil, OHIM needs to look at the wording of the applied for goods, namely "edible olive oil"
With regard to the green color used, in the market of olive oils, a considerable part of the glass containers are green so the consumer is accustomed to this type of container and thus won't perceive the color green as an indicative element of any commercial origin. Further, the use of a dark glass bottle responds to a technical requirement of bottling olive oil to be protected from harmful light.Finally the use of the green color will be perceived as a color reference to the olives and therefore of the edible olive oil contained in the bottle.
With regard to the word 'olive line, "reproduced on the bottom of the bottle, as well as purely figurative elements, namely the two circles with leaves and olive, beneath the neck of the bottle, they will not be perceived immediately or remembered by the relevant public as they have a purely decorative function and clear and would immediately be understood as a reference to the product concerned.
Taken together, these factors will not be able to sufficiently influence the overall impression produced by the sign of the average consumer of olive oil. This bottle does not differ significantly from the other bottles of olive oil available on the market.The sign in question is a simple variant of the usual forms of bottle containing olive oil and is consistent with other bottles sold in this sector.
The General Court dismissed the appeal. It confirmed that the Applicant's other trade marks containing "OLIVE LINE" are irrelevant here (see Case T-273/10 Olive Line International /OHIM) because they contained figurative elements which are not present in this application and does not change the conclusion that the words are descriptive for the goods at issue.

General Court: of cows and cream fudge
In Case T- 623/11, the General Court had to review a 'creamy fudgy' appeal regarding the following opposition
Both the Opposition Division and the Second BoA of OHIM dismissed the appeal. In essence, the differences between the signs at issue are sufficient to avoid any likelihood of confusion, in spite of the identity of the goods at issue and the reputation which the first and second earlier marks might have. That finding appliesa fortiorito the other marks relied on in support of the opposition, which differ even more from the mark applied for.
The General Court dismissed the appeal. It found that the relevant public is the average German consumer. The mere fact that the relevant public makes an impulse purchase for sweets does not mean that that public's level of attention is lower than that of an average consumer.
The signs at issue exhibit significant visual differences. The mark applied for consists in part of a yellow background with white vertical stripes. Furthermore, the stripes in the first and second earlier marks are arranged vertically, but one of them is also arranged horizontally. In this respect, there are also significant differences with the third earlier mark which contains only four vertical stripes, two of which are placed at either side of the figurative element of the sign concerned.
Moreover, the signs at issue also differ visually inasmuch as the mark applied for contains two frames, one containing the figurative representation of a cow and the other containing the word elements 'zpc ® milanówek'. The frame containing the figurative representation of a cow differs in shape from the frames used in the earlier marks. It also has four ornaments.The frame containing the word elements 'zpc ® milanówek' is superimposed on the frame containing the figurative representation of a cow. The visual perception of the frame containing the word elements 'zpc ® milanówek' is therefore enhanced as a result.
In addition, the signs at issue differ inasmuch as the mark applied for contains the word elements 'milanówek', 'zpc ® milanówek' and 'cream fudge', which are not used in the earlier marks, with the exception of the expression 'cream fudge' in the third earlier mark. It must be borne in mind that where a trade mark consists of word and figurative elements, the former are, in principle, more distinctive than the latter, because the average consumer will more readily refer to the goods in question by citing the name than by describing the figurative element of the trade mark. The earlier marks have words 'Sahne Muh-Muhs HANDGESCHNITTEN HANDGEWICKELT and SAHNE TOFFEE LUXURY' which are very different from the contested CTM.
Furthermore, the representation of a cow has an allusive character in relation to the goods at issue, in particular 'made by using milk, cream and/or butter'.and therefore has a weak distinctive character.
Conceptually the relevant public will either know the name of the town 'milanówek' or consider that word element to be an invented term. In those circumstances, there is nothing to permit the inference that the BoA erred in finding that the similarities between the signs at issue were not sufficient to conclude that there was a conceptual similarity.
Therefore the is no likelihood of confusion between the signs at issue.

Hi-Tech Suits
High-Tech Manufacturing has Transformed Modern Fabrics into Lightweight Cloth for Everyday Wear
G. Bruce Boyer
From the Print Edition:
Jack Nicholson, Summer 95
"Well, when it comes to cloth, you can talk about the fineness of the weave, the feel, the weight or a dozen other things, but the main questions are how will it be worn and how will it wear."
Forget about the trendy suit made out of 100 percent recycled-polyester beverage bottles. We're talking about the real thing. Tony Holland, chairman of Holland & Sherry of Savile Row, London, the British woolen merchant that sells a goodly portion of the world's top-quality cloths, is expounding on what to look for in fine fabrics. "The essential consideration is what type of clothing is going to be made from it. Are you looking for a new business suit, something to wear regularly to the office? Or is it to be an eye-stopping sports jacket that you'll put on once or twice a season to go to the country club? It's not unlike buying a car: there's a big difference between a Land Rover and a Rolls and a Volkswagen. They're all wonderful cars in their way, but with decidedly different uses. What's your objective? That's the question to ask."
Exactly. "In England we say it's like 'horses for courses,'" offers James Sheed, North American manager for the prestigious Anglo-French fabric house of Dormeuil. "Meaning that you pick the horse depending on the race: jumpers are for the steeplechase, and flat runners are for the track. Performance is based on character. It's the same with cloth. Linen is totally different from superfine woolen. You never want a cloth with loose construction or a rough hand, but beyond that you've got to know what kind of race you want it to run."
With fashions returning to decidedly classic styling, the real excitement is coming from fabrics, especially those constructed to allow for the newer, "softer" dressing. Men have realized today that they can be elegant and still be comfortable, that dignity and ease are not as mutually exclusive as they were for our Victorian forebears. And living in climate-controlled environments, we don't need all that heavy, stiffly padded, dark clothing. "Our Sportex line, which we invented in 1922, was considered the cloth of sports champions," says Sheed. "It was wonderful Scottish cheviot cloth, worn by all the great golfers and tennis stars of that era. It weighed 20 ounces. Today we make the same weave and similar patterns in a cloth that weighs a mere 12 ounces. That's the real story behind the fashion news." Fabrics are becoming softer to the touch and lighter in weight, which makes for a decidedly comfortable approach to dressing. If a man goes from his air-conditioned home to his air-conditioned car to his air-conditioned office and back again, the notion of summer and winter wardrobes loses some of its relevance.
Yet if you're going to invest in some new gear you hope to hold on to for more than a season or two--and with the price of clothing today, you certainly should want to--how do you know you're getting good cloth?
Everyone in the clothing business today, from CEOs of fabric houses and cloth merchants to tailors and manufacturers, agrees that the technology of making cloth has improved so much in the past quarter century that clothing is a whole new story.
"Up until World War II, men's tailored clothing was still a pretty bulky, unyielding affair," explains Ken Bates, president of the textile firm of Roger La Viale. "There were a few lightweight summer suitings, such as cotton seersucker, but most suiting was still in the 14-ounce-and-heavier range. Even the linens and silks were much heavier and stiffer than we would consider comfortable today, and many men simply wore light-colored flannels, as opposed to lightweight ones. Winter suiting was absolutely bulletproof: thick tweeds and worsteds customarily weighing 16 to 18 ounces per yard. A man would be wearing 10 pounds or so of unyielding wool on his back. Things have changed considerably."
Thank the gods. Today we tend to forget that men sweltered away in un-air-conditioned offices, encased in pounds of scratchy wool, not to mention the layers of fabric in the collars and ties tightly wrapped around their necks. Men were forbidden to remove their jackets in many offices. That was considered a sign of moral depravity.
Then came the invention of tropical worsteds, in which finer threads were woven to produce lighter weights that were as resistant to wrinkles as heavier cloth was. It was the harbinger of today's advances.
"Technology has made the difference," says Neal Boyarsky, president of Beckenstein Men's Fabrics, a leading cloth merchant in New York City. "The looms that do the weaving, for example, are much more sophisticated than they were even a decade ago. They can weave finer yarns at a higher density; computers allow for more intricate use of color and pattern, and new techniques for twisting the yarns and finishing the cloth have emerged." Beckenstein's mainstay is the line of fine British and Italian cloth from the woolen houses of Scabal and Wain Shiell. "While we carry traditional-weight tweeds, worsteds and flannels," acknowledges Boyarsky, "our emphasis is on the newer luxury lightweights: nine-ounce wool crepes, Super 130s worsteds and very lightweight blends of Super 120s worsted and cashmere."

DOUGLAS COUNTY - School Board President John Carson proclaims this a great day for the school district, while opponents of the Choice Scholarship Program claim the fight is far from over.
"It's a huge victory for parental choice in Colorado and nationally," said Carson, Douglas County School Board President.
In 2011, the Douglas County School District launched a pilot program to give 500 families about $4,500 in public funds to help them pay for sending their kids to public schools. A lottery was held and more than $300,000 of public funds was sent to families participating in the program.
The American Civil Liberties Union and a group called Taxpayers for Public Education quickly led the charge of lawsuits filed against the district to halt the program.
Initially, District Court Judge Michael Martinez sided with the plaintiffs claiming it is unconstututional to give public money for use at religious schools and issued a permanent injunction. Most of the schools on the approved private school list for the program are religious schools.
Friday, the Colorado Court of Appeals ruled 2-to-1 to lift the injunction and restore the program stating that the plaintiffs did not show beyond a reasonable doubt that the program violated the state constitution.
"The judge's decision today made it pretty clear that the program is constitutional," said Carson. "It didn't violate any proivision of the constitution."
ACLU Staff Attorney Rebecca Wallace disagrees.
"Today, the Colorado Court of Appeals got it wrong," said Wallace.
She says the ACLU plans to file an appeal with the Colorado Supreme Court.
"We hope and expect that they will take on the appeal and affirm that public funds are not to be used for private, religious education in Colorado," said Wallace.
Cindra Barnhard is president of Taxpayers for Public Education. She says her group will also take the matter to the state's highest court.
"We're disappointed, but certainly not discouraged," said Barnhard. "We believe in our case. We believe that the program is unconstitutional."
One of the appellate judges agreed with the plaintiffs writing a 50 page dissenting opinion supporting their claims.
"We're in this for the long haul," said Barnhard. "This is not only about the children of not only Douglas County, but of all the state of Colorado."
The impact may even be felt nationwide. This is a case that is being closely watched by school choice advocates and opponents from around the United States.
"This is a battle that's happening across the country," said Barnhard. "It landed in Douglas County."
Carson would like to get the Choice Scholarship Program up and running again as quickly as possible, but with a Supreme Court Appeal pending, he knows it won't likely happen anytime soon. If the Supreme Court takes the appeal, a final decision may not be issued for another year to 18 months or more, according to the attorneys.
Carson says he's confident the district will ultimately prevail.
"We feel that our program is great for kids in Douglas County," said Carson. "We feel it's legal. We feel it's constitutional and today the court has said that it is."

OURAY COUNTY – Ouray County Clerk Michelle Nauer didn't think much about it when she received an inquiry from Associated Press reporters some time ago who wanted to know more about Ouray County's voting record.
This week, she found out what all the fuss was about, when Ouray County was named in an AP study as one of 106 swing-voting counties and cities in nine battleground states that voted for President Bush in 2004 and Obama in 2008.
The study has been printed and broadcast in media outlets across the country, bringing a new wave of attention to this tiny county of less than 5,000 residents that until now has been somewhat of a political backwater.
All that has changed in this year's closely contested presidential race, which State Democratic Party Chairman Rick Palacio told local constituents last week, could be decided by just few thousand votes in purple places like Ouray County.
The presidential election of 2008 is the only one that Nauer is aware of in her long career with the county, where the majority of Ouray County residents voted for a Democratic candidate. In that election, candidate Obama got 1,636 of the county's votes, compared to McCain's 1,368.
In contrast, the presidential election of 2004 saw President Bush and his veep Dick Cheney win 1,402 votes, while the Kerry/Edwards Democratic ticket got only 1,278.
Previous presidential elections of recent years have had similarly red results here. In 2000, the Bush ticket won 1,279 votes, while Gore received 705. In 1996, Dole had 984 votes to Clinton's 569. And in 1992, when President George H. Bush was fighting for a second term, Ouray County was solidly behind him with 653 votes in compared to Clinton's 461.
There's no doubt about it, Nauer said. "In 2008, we swung."
This election season has been "totally over the top" in terms of the attention Ouray County has been receiving, Nauer said. In addition to the county's prominent mention in the recent AP study, it was also recently threatened with legal action by True The Vote, a Texas-based organization that alleged Ouray County was in violation of federal election law because of a discrepancy of census data compared to voter rolls. The discrepancy stems from the fact that Ouray County has a lot of second home owners, Nauer said.
Nauer's office also received an email request from the Romney campaign, demanding to proof Ouray County's ballot before it went to print. Every county in the state got a similar request.
And just last week, Nauer received aColorado Open Records Act request from the Denver-based watchdog group Ethics Watch, requesting a copy of her response to True The Vote. Nauer is not sure what the outcome of Ethics Watch's inquiry will be.
In contrast to all this noise, the election itself so far has been fairly quiet in Ouray County. "We're trying to stay out of the fray and under the radar," Nauer said.
Early voting got underway this week, with 14 people stopping in on Monday to cast their ballot. Mail-in ballots are beginning to trickle in as well; Nauer's office mailed out 2,300 ballots last week to county residents who had requested them.

Law, Business and Entrepreneurship Program
Follow all of the steps outlined on the
Concentration Tracks page.
The LBE Concentration track is designed to provide students a basis for achieving professional excellence either as counselors, litigators or business principals in the dynamic settings where business and law practice meet.
The program leverages the depth of the law school's full-time faculty in the business law area, while also providing students access to practitioners who have attained extraordinary levels of achievement in law practice in the Seattle metropolitan area.
The core curriculum, illustrated below, ensures that students will have a sound, durable foundation. The requirement of at least three electives ensures that students will build breadth and diversity into their curriculum.
The program is especially rich in courses elucidating lawyers' role in start-up businesses,
but many sub-specialties relevant to transactional corporate practice and business counseling,
as well as securities and commercial litigation can be built from the offerings. The
flexibility in the program's curricular structure is complemented by the program's commitment to
varied kinds of instruction, including experiential learning through
clinics and externships, drafting and skills courses, and seminars where law students
will be learning alongside business school or public affairs students.
In addition to becoming entrepreneurs in establishing their own legal practice or
businesses, graduates will be well situated to flourish in small or large firm transactional
practice or litigation, as in-house corporate counsel, as attorneys for public or
private financial services firms or advisors to start-ups, family businesses, and also in
nonprofit enterprises.
To satisfy their elective requirements, students may also enroll in courses offered by the Foster School of Business, or other business-related courses approved by a faculty advisor.
Note that not all courses will be available each year.
At least one of the following experiential/drafting courses:
Business Law and Taxation
Commercial, Trade and Real Property Transactions
Intellectual Property
Compensation of Employees and Employment Law
Other Courses

Vt. arms dealer sues over Romanian semiauto weaponsBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | February 07,2013At a time when talk of gun control has led to a run on weapons and ammunition sales at gun shops around the country, a Vermont company thats the largest importer and wholesaler of surplus weapons in North America, is engaged in a legal battle with a Colorado company for allegedly siphoning off as much as $4 million in profits.
Century International Arms of Georgia alleges in its federal lawsuit that M+M Inc. of Eastlake, Colo., solicited business from C.N. Romarm S.A., the Romanian government-owned weapons company, in violation of what the company says is tantamount to an exclusivity contract to import and sell certain Romarm weapons in the U.S.
On Tuesday, eight months after the lawsuit was filed in U.S. District Court in Vermont, M+M Inc. filed a response denying all of Century Internationals allegations while seeking dismissal of the case.
Century International Arms (www.centuryarms.com), which operates a manufacturing and distribution center in the Arrowhead Industrial Park in Georgia, imports a variety of surplus weapons, including the popular Romanian WASR-10 semiautomatic rifle.
Century takes the imported weapons and makes modifications at its Georgia facility to meet U.S. gun laws. The modified firearms are then sold to gun dealers as the GP/WASR 10/63 KR.
Centurys corporate address is in Delray Beach, Fla.
As a result of M+Ms interference with its contracts with Romarm/FAC, Century has been unable to fill its customers orders, harming Centurys reputation and crippling its ability to meet demand, according to the companys June 2012 lawsuit.
FAC (S.C. Fabrica De Arme Cugir) is Romarms manufacturing subsidiary.
Century and Romarm have been doing business for 10 years. The latest contract dated March 2011 requires Romarm to sell a specified number of weapons each month.
In exchange, Century agreed to pay Romarm, on average, a minimum of $1.35 million per quarter and a minimum of $350,000 a month, the eight-page lawsuit stated.
But Century said while it has lived up to its part of the agreement, Romarm/FAC has failed to deliver the required quantity of firearms to century under the 2011 contract.
In addition to the contract, Century points out that the companies also signed a Business Promotion and Protection Agreement. The companies agreed to be loyal to each other and to work jointly to promote the sales of Romanian firearms and accessories in the United States.
Century is barred from filing suit against Romarm because the contracts are subject to arbitration.
The lawsuit points out that the agreements require both Century and Romarm to participate in arbitration in Paris under international rules.
Century alleges that its inability to meet demand is based in part on Romarm selling surplus weapons to M+M Inc (www.cogunsales.com). At the time the lawsuit was filed, Romarm had already supplied M+M with 12,405 firearms and accessories in the previous 18 months and agreed to supply the Colorado wholesaler with an additional 24,000 firearms and accessories from August through February 2013.
Century argues that it is entitled to all weapons and accessories sold to M+M.
M+Ms usurping of those firearms and accessories has deprived Century of millions of dollars in revenue and close to $2 million on profit in the last twelve monthsm, the lawsuit said. If M+M receives shipment of the remaining 24,000 firearms and accessories through February 2013, Centurys lost profits will more than double.
In a letter dated Sept. 2, 2011, Century notified M+M of its exclusive contract with Romarm. M+M replied in a letter five days later that it would take Centurys letter into consideration.
Centurys lawsuit alleges that since at least May 2011, M+M has taken action to disrupt Centurys relationship with Romarm and advising Romarm to violate its agreements with Century.
The lawsuit further alleges that two foreign companies, InterOrdinance Austria and CIT Bahamas are helping M+M in its dealings with Romarm.
In its eight-page response filed with the court, M+M alleged that whatever damages Century incurred were caused by the acts or omissions of third parties (Romarm) beyond its control. The Colorado arms wholesaler also argued that the contracts in question expired prior to M+M doing business with Romarm. In addition, M+M alleged that the exclusivity provision violate the laws of Romania and the European Union.
Century is asking the court to award damages of at least $4 million, plus punitive damages and attorneys fees.
M+M is represented by Pamela Moreau of the Burlington law firm of Murphy Sullivan Kronk and John Zakhem of Denver, Colo.
Century International Arms is represented by Andrew Manitsky of Gravel & Shea in Burlington.
Attorneys representing Century and M+M declined to comment for this story.

Their debate centers on the role and current state of journalism. The entire piece is worthy of attention. We'll allow each man to make a small bit of their case below:
A journalist who is petrified of appearing to express any opinions will often steer clear of declarative sentences about what is true, opting instead for a cowardly and unhelpful "here's-what-both-sides-say-and-I-won't-resolve-the-conflicts" formulation. That rewards dishonesty on the part of political and corporate officials who know they can rely on "objective" reporters to amplify their falsehoods without challenge (i.e., reporting is reduced to "X says Y" rather than "X says Y and that's false").
Worse still, this suffocating constraint on how reporters are permitted to express themselves produces a self-neutering form of journalism that becomes as ineffectual as it is boring. A failure to call torture "torture" because government officials demand that a more pleasant euphemism be used, or lazily equating a demonstrably true assertion with a demonstrably false one, drains journalism of its passion, vibrancy, vitality and soul.
